Eating too much sugar can increase obesity hormones 10 times

◎ Ketone bodies can also serve as brain nutrients, making the brain more alert

Because of this misconception, people think that sugar is a very important nutrient and consume it in large quantities. Fortunately, ketone bodies are smaller in molecules than fatty acids and can pass through the blood-brain barrier smoothly, effectively serving as a source of energy for the brain. As long as you continue your sugar-restricted diet, your body will learn how to use ketones properly. For the brain, it can use glucose and ketone bodies at the same time, making the brain more flexible.

After eating sugar, the secretion of "obesity hormone" will increase 10 times

There are various hormones in the human body, each playing a different role, and insulin is one of them. One of the main functions of insulin is to allow the body to use blood sugar as energy and enter the cells within the muscles to become an energy source. Insulin is secreted by the pancreas 24 hours a day, which is called "basal secretion". Normally, the basal secretion is not much, but as long as you "eat foods rich in sugar", the secretion will increase 10 to 20 times.

On the other hand, insulin has the function of lowering blood sugar. When blood sugar soars, in order to restore the body to its normal state, we will eat a lot of sugar, which will increase the glucose in the blood and secrete a large amount of insulin, which is called "compensatory secretion." But how does insulin lower blood sugar? It allows muscle cells to absorb large amounts of blood sugar. After muscles use blood sugar as energy, it is converted into "glycogen" for storage. In addition, insulin converts blood sugar into glycogen and stores it in the liver. However, the amount that the human body can withstand is limited and cannot be stored indefinitely.

What happens if the tolerable amount is exceeded? Blood sugar that has nowhere to go will be absorbed by fat cells due to insulin, converted into neutral fat and become body fat. In other words, when insulin is secreted in large quantities, unconsumed blood sugar will become body fat and be stored in the body, making people fat.

◎Once insulin secretion is insufficient, it will develop into diabetes

Insulin is an important mechanism for maintaining life. If the human body does not secrete insulin, the body will continue to be in a state of high blood sugar. Why is high blood sugar harmful to health? If your blood sugar is just high, there won't be any symptoms. However, if you continue to ignore it, your body will suffer dire consequences.

Once diabetes is caused by insufficient insulin action, the person will be in a state of high blood sugar for several consecutive years, causing the blood vessels to become hard, brittle and damaged, forming "atherosclerosis", leading to complications of diabetes such as omental disease, nerve disorders, kidney disease, cerebral infarction, myocardial infarction, and various lifestyle diseases.

Diabetes mellitus is a disease caused by premature aging of blood vessels throughout the body due to high blood sugar. If this continues for another 10, 20 or even 30 years, the beta cells in the pancreas that secrete insulin will become exhausted and have problems. Eventually, the pancreas will no longer be able to secrete insulin, which is severe diabetes, and insulin injections must be started. In order to prevent the body from secreting large amounts of the obesity hormone insulin, the only way is to stop consuming large amounts of sugar to avoid activating the secretion mechanism.
